All,
I have a 2000 AU forte which has power windows (Front only) . The power windows have just stopped working all together. They cannot be ooperated from eithe driver or passenger door switches. I have changed the relay and circuit breaker switches in fuse panel and still nothing, no sound or sign of life. Is there anything else i should be checking for ? Thanks in Advance

Pop the switches out of the doors and pull them apart and give the contacts on the rocker switches a clean,they get a build up of crud and stop working.
Its worth a try because it costs nothing. |

Funny how both sides stopped working at the same time, at least that's how I read it!
I'm guessing it's a power supply problem, based on that assumption! |

They are controlled by the master side so one wont work with out the other , just lift the drivers side master out and disconnect the wiring then you can remover the rocker switches with a small blade screw driver , once you have opened the first one if the contact is still in one piece you will see the gunk build up just spray it with a cleaner or CRC type stuff wipe clean even lightly sand the contact if you real keen and re assemble and move on to the next ,also it wont hurt to clean the other side and rears while you at it .
